YOU can become the "Fairy Godmother" of crocheting! Using a curved hook - rather than a magic wand - you can learn how to transform lengths of yarn into charming little pumpkins that will last for many seasons rather than just one. More importantly, even when your pumpkins don't turn out exactly as expected, you can usually "squash" them into shape. Note: Both beginners and those with crochet experience are welcome.

As Thanksgiving approaches, very young children often get a chance to trace their hands on paper and then turn that drawing into a picture of a turkey using crayons, or colored paper and glue. You can kick this tradition up several notches! Learn how to trace a hand on a square of muslin instead of paper; then, instead of crayons, you you can use skeins of embroidery floss and a needle to create this new twist on a much loved Thanksgiving tradition. Note: Both beginners and those with embroidery experience are welcome. Disappearing ink will be available for tracing your hand.
